Building a More Inclusive Digital and Creative Economy 🚀
The iDICE Programme recently organized a Gender and Social Inclusion (GESI) training for its consultants and partners, strengthening their understanding of how inclusion can be integrated into the delivery of the programme.
The training focused on identifying and addressing barriers that may limit participation and access to opportunities within Nigeria’s digital and creative economy.
GESI goes beyond gender. It considers the diverse needs and experiences of women and men, persons with disabilities, young people, and other groups who may face barriers to participation.
By equipping the consultants working with iDICE with the knowledge and tools to apply inclusive approaches, the programme is taking an important step towards ensuring that its initiatives, opportunities, and interventions are accessible and responsive to diverse groups.
True inclusion goes beyond representation. It is about creating systems, spaces, and opportunities where everyone can participate, contribute, and thrive—regardless of gender, ability, background, or circumstance.

We are excited to announce the 10 top-performing innovators of Founders Lab Cohort 1, each receiving an additional $3,000 to support the next stage of their venture journey.
This recognition, delivered through the Federal Government-backed iDICE Startup Bridge, reflects their progress, commitment and the potential of the solutions they are building.
From ideas to action, these innovators are showing what is possible when Nigerian founders are given the right support and resources to build.
Congratulations to our Top 10!

And with that Founders Lab cohort 1 is a wrap.
Today, we celebrate the 50 high-performing innovators of Founders Lab Cohort 1, whose ideas, commitment and progress stood out throughout the programme.
We also recognise the 49 innovation hubs that helped extend the programme’s reach and create spaces for founders to learn, connect and build, alongside the zonal coordinators and deputies who contributed to making this journey possible.
From the founders doing the building to the ecosystem powering their journey, every contribution matters.
Cheers to what has been built, and to what comes next.

The IsDB component of the iDICE Programme continues to strengthen collaboration with Partner Financial Institutions (PFIs) through the implementation of the Management Information System (MIS).
The MIS will enhance programme monitoring, reporting, transparency, and efficient fund administration, enabling better support for MSMEs, startups, and innovators across Nigeria.
By improving programme efficiency and data-driven decision-making, this initiative contributes to enterprise growth, increased access to financing, and sustainable job creation within Nigeria’s digital and creative economy.

If you are a woman in tech or you are trying to get in;
You are not too late
You are not too much
You are not in the wrong room
You are exactly where you are supposed to be
And if nobody has told you that today, we are telling you now!

She was the smartest person in the room.
Her code was cleaner than anyone else's.
Her solutions worked every single time
But they still asked her male colleague to explain her work to them
This is what it actually looks like to be a woman in tech
